Abstract(in English) The main contribution of this paper is to show an efficient GPU implementation of computing the summed area table. Existing implementations compute SAT in parallel dividing input matrix into submatrix. In the implementations, to synchronize the computation, the execution is divided into several kernels that are launched in serial. Our implementation adopts status flag to check the progress of computation and calls a kernel only once to compute SAT. In this paper, we show a GPU implementation that can perform a single kernel call on NVIDIA Titan X. The experimental results show that our SAT implementation runs faster at most 2.03 times than existing GPU implementations and 41.68 times faster than sequential algorithm using the CPU.
